Salvador (book)


Salvador is a 1983 book-length essay by Joan Didion on American involvement in El Salvador. Didion wrote the book after visiting the country. Didion spent two weeks in El Salvador and has referred to the experience as "terrifying". She was in the country during the 1982 El Salvador earthquake.
The New York Review of Books published two "extended articles" by Didion about her visit to El Salvador which were later combined to form Salvador.
